Joel Grace has moved around some in the last few years, from Alabama to West Hall High School in Oakwood, and now finds himself at the Lanier College & Career Academy with a clear goal in mind. “I don’t want to be struggling to get through,” said Grace, 17, adding that he grew up in poverty. He also carries an attitude that ought to serve him well as an adult. “I love work, too,” Grace said. “Work don’t bother me.” Grace is one of about 60 students enrolled in a new agriculture mechanics program at the academy, studying topics like welding, electrical wiring and engine repair — anything that will make him the tradesman he wants to be.
